VIOLATION OF EQUAL RIGHTS
>
Th« Agreement In Question Apparent
ly Provides for" Division of Oil
Bupplles ofv Mesopotamia.
Washington. The United States
has dispatched a note to Great Brit
ain protesting against secret agree
ments between the allies for the ex
ploitation of territories of the former
Turkish empire, it" was learned.
The note is the second of a series
between the United States and Great
Britain since a secret agreement be
tween England and France for exploit
ation of the oil resources of Mesopo
tamia came to light some time ago.
The flrst note was sent to Great
Britain several months ago as an in
quiry about the agreement reached at
San Re mo, Italy, between BDgland
and France on Mesopotamlan oil sup
plies. The state department is under
stood to have pointed out in this note
that the agreement was in vialatlon
of the stand of the Ulilted States that
all nations must be given equal rights
in mandate countries. Great Britain
holds the mandate over Mesopotamia.
Th# agreement between Great Brit
ain and France provided for an appar
ent division between the two coun
tries of the oil supplies of Mesopota
mia.
The reply of Great Britain to the
flrst note of the United States is un
derstood to have said that the agree
ment did not prevent any other na
tion from the commercial exploitation
of Mesopotamia or prejudice their
rights, but that the pact was merely
intended to facilitate greatly needed
oil supplies to the two countries.

HALF THE STATES AFFECTED
The Interstate Commerce Commission
Holds a General Obligation Rests
on It "To Exercise Control."
Washington.—ln Its first decision
on the right of the federal govern,
ment under the transportation act to
require railroad rates within a state
to correspond to the higher levels oi
Interstate tariffs, (he Interstate com
merce commission ordered the rail
roads of New York to establish pas
senger and baggage' rates on intra
state traffic conforming to advanced
Interstate scheduler. Similar pro
ceedings are pending affecting more
than half the* states- In the union.
The federal body held tffat there
was a general obligation reeting upon
It "to exercise contort over ' Intra
state commerce so far aa it affects
Interstate commerce."
"The decisive factor," the ruling
said, "le whether the rates under
consideration injuriously affect inter
state commerce."
Congress directed that rates be al
lowed which would yield' an aggre
gate return of from five and one-half
to six per cent.
A dissenting opinion was handed
down by Commissioner Eadtman,
who contended that the decision of
the majority was beyond the lawful
power of the commission.
"The objection Is more than tech
nical," he declared, "for it concerns
the basic relations between the state
and the federal government."
